Sticky and Easy Honey Garlic Chicken made simple, with the most amazing and addictive 5-ingredient honey garlic sauce that is so good you’ll want it on everything!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken thighs (bone in or out, with or without skin)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Season: Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder; set aside.
- Sear: Heat a pan or skillet over medium high heat; sear chicken thigh fillets or breast fillets on both sides until golden and cooked through.
- Cook: For bone in thighs, reduce heat, cover skillet with a lid and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, while turning every 5 minutes until done.
- Drain: Drain most of the excess oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons of pan juiced for added flavour.
- Aromatics: Arrange chicken skin-side up in the pan; add the garlic between the chicken and fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Glaze: Add the honey, water, vinegar and soy sauce.
- Reduce: Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thicken slightly (about 3-4 minutes).
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.
Notes
For chicken breasts: use 3 breasts, sliced horizontally in half. For oven baked bone-in thighs: Preheat oven at 400°F (200°C), sear in an oven-proof skillet for 3 minutes per side, then bake for 20-25 minutes.
